For over 25 years, I have built a track record of delivering breakthrough outcomes for market-leading mid-sized companies and multinational groups across diverse industries and service sectors, earning multiple award-winning distinctions from Fortune 500, FTSE 250, and DAX companies:
✔Multi-million-euro bottom-line impact

My "Excellence in Global Value Chains" framework establishes new benchmarks in procurement and supply chain across all critical areas. It combines a holistic and tailored approach with state-of-the-art capabilities, integrates key stakeholders, and ensures full alignment with business goals.
